Development of the latest version of the ASAP Implementation Guide for Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs has been underway through 2022.

Right Intelligence, Right Patient, Right Time
Natalie Browning, VP of Client Relations, Bamboo Health
There’s no dispute that a comprehensive and correct patient history is critical for more informed prescribing and dispensing. There’s also no debate that linking patient records across disparate systems is a complex endeavor that requires expertise in data quality assurance.
More than 43 states and territories rely on Bamboo Health — and its turnkey EHR/PMS integration — to power their prescription drug monitoring programs and ensure patient records are matched appropriately. Collectively, these clients conduct almost 6 billion API searches every year. That’s a lot of data — and a lot of opportunity for unintentional mistakes to creep into it.
But, among more than 12 million PDMP search requests processed daily on more than 2.6 billion records through Bamboo Health solutions, an analysis found just 0.03% of the 176 million patient record groups have required manual changes.
Natalie will explain how the rigor Bamboo Health deploys to ensure states and territories provide safer and more informed prescribing and dispensing. Specifically, Natalie will detail how Bamboo Health:
- Filters and cleans PDMP data to correct typos, standardize capitalization and spacing, and rectify address formatting
- Assigns multiple edges to records from unique combinations of patient identifiers and uses that data to appropriately link records.
DSCSA Supply Chain Compliance Update
Randy Hoggle, B.Pharm., Dr.P.H., M.B.A., Managing Director, Advasur, LLC
Randy Hoggle will provide an update on where the supply chain industry is on Drug Quality and Security Act (DSCSA) compliance. He will also decode what trading partners have to do to meet the new Enhanced Drug Distribution Security (EDDS) requirements, especially Interoperability.

This program will detail critical initiatives that are moving through the legislative process in Congress and what to expect for 2023.
